Create a Romantic Night: Fab and Bella's Tips to Get the Look

TresSugar — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 02:00:17 PST

While we know more about looking sexy than handling kids on Valentine's Day, nobody knows looks better than the experts at Bella and FabSugar.

Hannah Weil, assistant editor of Fab, handpicked lingerie for the evening. From a pricey playsuit in bright pink from Agent Provocateur ($330), which she calls "super sexy, super playful, and totally Valentine’s Day-appropriate," to the wallet-friendly, but no less sexy, candy-pink babydoll from Victoria's Secret ($38). Personally, our favorite is Lascivious's black, cupless satin bra that Hannah calls the "most flirtatious under-thing I’ve ever seen."

Once you know what you'll hardly be wearing, you'll want to get beautiful. For a sophisticated take on that just-out-of-bed look, BellaSugar recommends re-creating Lea Michele's hair at the SAG Awards. Jaime Richards, associate editor at Bella, says, "I love this look because it’s all about creating perfectly imperfect tousled waves. It’s sexy without looking like you’re trying too hard, and it’s the kind of style that wears well on most textures and lengths.

For the details, consider one of the five sexiest fragrances from around the world, make red lipstick work for you, or finally figure out how to get smoky eyes.

And don't get too obsessive; it all ends in the dark anyway.

Make a Meat Cake

YumSugar — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 10:56:22 PDT

I love cake and I love meat, so in theory I should love this meat cake. However something tells me it looks better than it actually tastes. What looks like a gorgeous traditional layer cake with a T-bone steak drawn on it is actually a cake made from meat. That's right, real meat. This three layer cake is made from ground beef, Worcestershire sauce with brown sugar & ketchup, and mashed potatoes. Pretty much, it's like a beautiful three-layer meatloaf. If you've ever fancied making one (and apparently there are enough people who have made meat cakes, that there's now an entire meat cake gallery), then you should definitely check out these step by step instructions for creating your own meat cake. Something tells me every single one of you knows someone who would go crazy for this cake.

Our Ultimate Swimsuit Guide - Get the Best Fit For Your Body

Hannah Weil — Fri, 25 May 2012 16:22:49 PDT

Finding the perfect Summer suit can seem like an impossible task, especially when you don't know quite what you're looking for. We're putting an end to all that with our ultimate guide to getting the right fit for your body. With the help of swimwear fit and style expert Audrey Jimenez over at Everything But Water, we're breaking down the best fit tips for every body type and the best styles to shop for your figure all right here. From curvier frames to athletic body types, we're helping to make sense of the endless swimwear options out there and narrowing down all of our favorite options that were made to fit and flatter your frame. Want to know what you should be looking for? Get the expert's quick-hit dos and don'ts, then click on to find your perfect suit - and resolve to never hate swimsuit shopping again.

Dos

Do try on lots of different suits. Swim styles change all the time, so look outside of your comfort zone and you may find your new favorite silhouette.
Do go with a smaller size if you are not sure. Swimsuits expand when wet.
Do use ties and adjustable straps to fit the suit to your body. Go tighter than you think. Once tied, lean forward and adjust until your bust is covered and stays put.

Don'ts

Don't choose a trendy silhouette if it doesn't fit you well. Great style begins with a great fit, so it's more important to find the silhouette that best flatters your figure.
Don't assume a size larger or more fabric will give you more flattering coverage. Many women purchase suits that are too large, and as a result, the fabric gaps and the suits don't support properly. If you want more coverage, find a style that offers more coverage.
